Imposter Syndrome
Tired Of Feeling Like An Imposter At Work?
Imposter syndrome is the perception that you come up short when compared to your peers. You feel like a phony who doesn’t deserve the success you’ve earned, wondering when you’ll be discovered as the fraud you believe you are.

It Has Deeper Roots Than You May Think…
Imposter Syndrome Affects Men & Women Alike … But You Can Manage It
While Imposter Syndrome is not recognized as a medical disorder, it is very common, affecting 70 percent of the population at least once. Around 35-30 percent of high achievers may suffer from Imposter Syndrome. Recent research has shown that it affects men and women equally.
Here’s What’s Going On When You Feel Like A Fraud At Work
You experience self-doubt. You find it difficult to properly assess your skills. When you perform well, you chalk it up to something external to you such as luck, timing, or teamwork. You don’t take compliments well. You’re hard on yourself, so you over-prepare and over-achieve, but that still is not enough. It manifests itself in anxious thoughts and feelings of inadequacy. You pass up on opportunities because you don’t believe you’re qualified. In essence, you self-sabotage.

How Career Coaching Can Help
Failing to deal with imposter syndrome can stunt your personal and career growth and cause you to miss out on opportunities. A recent study suggests turning to someone outside your academic and professional circle can be “more effective in dampening perceptions of impostorism than seeking support from peers.” A career coach can help you reframe your feelings and truly embrace your accomplishments with confidence.
Developing your skills
You already have the skills that have taken you to where you are in your life and career. The skills needed to overcome imposter syndrome start with a shift in mindset so that you are as convinced of your accomplishments as your colleagues, friends and family are.
